What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

The 100,000 spectators stopped their discussions and all eyes were fixed on her.

Li Shanshan's face was tense and her expression was serious.

She looked at the terminal in her hand, paused for two seconds, then raised her head and looked directly at the 100,000 viewers in front of her.

"The hunting competition begins; the alien race launches a surprise attack."

"During the rescue operation by the students of Cangyun Martial Arts University, all the life-saving jade pendants sent out became ineffective."

"No elemental shield was activated."

As soon as he finished speaking, a slight commotion arose in the hall.

Many people recalled the images of Cangyun Martial Arts University students on the battlefield before the screen went black.

Li Shanshan continued speaking without pausing.

His voice was as cold as a knife.

"This has been verified by the joint investigation of the University Association and the law enforcement teams of Cangyun, Nanjiang, and Shangjing prefectures."

"Zhou Bin, Vice President of Cangyun Martial Arts University and President of the Cangyun Prefecture Zhou Clan Chamber of Commerce."

When Li Shanshan pronounced the name, she emphasized each word.

"He secretly instructed his subordinates to destroy the Yuan energy storage array patterns inside all the life-saving jade tablets of Cangyun Martial Arts University."

"This caused all 50 life-saving jade pendants of Cangyun Martial Arts University to become ineffective."

Li Shanshan lowered her head, looking at the terminal screen, her voice echoing in everyone's ears.

"This action caused several trainees to lose their means of self-defense and die on the spot."

The list of those killed in action is as follows:

"Qinglan Martial Arts University, Thousand Jun Realm Eighth Level, Chen Tiantian."

"Yangguan Martial Arts University, Thousand Jun Realm Level 2, Sun Hao."

"Pingning Martial Arts University, Thousand Jun Realm Level 4, Zhang Yu."

Li Shanshan read on, line by line.

"A total of thirty-two trainees were killed."

A few words, and a commotion erupted.

"boom!"

After a brief silence, the entire main venue exploded like a powder keg.

The roar of 100,000 people surged into the sky.

"I remember now!"

The man in the baseball cap jumped onto the chair, covered his head with his hands, stared with bloodshot eyes, and roared as he pointed at the ring.

"On the first day of the competition! The people from Cangyun Martial Arts University rushed out to rescue people, but their jade tokens didn't even light up with their Yuan Power shields!"

"It was vandalized?!"

The man in the short shirt suddenly turned his head and looked at the VIP seating area where Zhou Bin had just stood, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"Zhou Bin?!"

"Wasn't he just criticizing the federation for inaction in the ring?!"

The retired veteran stood on the chair, his only remaining left hand gripping the back of the chair tightly, his eyes wide open.

"He was just acting like a good guy on stage! He even said he'd personally contribute 300 million credits to establish some kind of relief fund!"

"I*&**&@#!!"

The audience erupted in chaos.

Anger, shock, disgust—a mix of emotions erupted, transforming into a deluge of abuse.

"I just thought he was a good person! I even applauded him!"

"I swear... people like this deserve to be torn to pieces! And sent to the deepest hell!"

The insults grew louder and louder, filled with profanity.

"He himself is the vice-principal of Cangyun Martial Arts University! Why would he do this?!"

"Yeah? Why!"

"You're not trying to make Zhou Bin take the blame, are you?"

"What kind of principal would push their students into a fire pit?!"

The criticism also contained a lot of doubt.

Li Shanshan stood quietly on the ring, letting the audience vent their emotions.

Ten minutes later.

She raised her hand again to suppress her voice.

"The University Association has already investigated Zhou Bin's motives."

Li Shanshan lowered her hand and glanced at the stands.

"In order to gain enough leverage to bring down the current president in the next election for Cangyun Martial Arts University, Zhou Bin took a risk and suppressed the Cangyun Martial Arts University team."

These words caused another uproar in the room.

Is it possible to use hundreds of lives as stepping stones for a principal's position?

Li Shanshan continued, "Before the competition began, Zhou Bin first used the power of the Zhou Clan Chamber of Commerce to privately raise the price of basic cultivation materials, attempting to cut off the resource supply for Cangyun Martial Arts students."

"After the plan failed, Zhou Bin harbored resentment and tampered with the life-saving jade pendants of the Cangyun Martial Arts University students."

"This led to a series of tragedies that followed."

After Li Shanshan finished speaking, she put away the terminal in her hand.

She took a step back.

She raised her hands and took off the badge that represented the president of the university association, which was pinned to her chest.

"The jade token malfunctioned, leading to the tragic deaths of thirty-two innocent students."

Li Shanshan held the badge in both hands, looking at the 100,000 spectators in front of her.

"As the president of the Human Race Academy Federation, I am responsible for the failure to effectively supervise the process."

She took a deep breath.

"Effective immediately, I am resigning from my position as president of the federation."

"I apologize to all the students who died and their parents."

After speaking, Li Shanshan bent down and bowed deeply to the audience and the more than 500 students on the stage.

They held the 90-degree angle for a full ten seconds.

Get up.

Li Shanshan turned her head and looked at Xiao Qiong, who was standing in mid-air.

"Cangyun Martial Arts University is an institution under the jurisdiction of Cangyun Prefecture."

"Zhou Bin, please have Lady Xiao Qiong decide on the matter."

Li Shanshan stepped aside, giving up the center of the ring.

A series of chaotic footsteps came from the passageway behind the podium.

Four law enforcement officers dressed in black uniforms with gold dragon patterns escorted a person out of the passage.

It's Zhou Bin.

Two law enforcement officers grabbed his arms and dragged him to the center of the ring.

midair.

Xiao Qiong's nonchalant attitude had completely vanished.

His face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Without chewing bubble gum, his hands hung naturally at his sides.

He flashed and landed directly on the arena from mid-air, standing in front of Zhou Bin.

Looking at Zhou Bin's appearance, he was reminded of a few months ago.

At that time, Liu Yunjin was injured because of the jar, and Zhou Bin was very anxious about it.

At the time, he only felt that Zhou Bin was eager to show off in front of him, the new lord of the manor.

He never expected that this vice principal, who usually seemed so refined and full of moralistic rhetoric, would turn out to be so different.

They actually did something so outrageous.

"Zhou Bin".

Xiao Qiong spoke slowly, her voice as cold as Wei Xiaoran's icy spear.

Do you know you're wrong?

Zhou Bin had been keeping his head down, but his shoulder twitched suddenly when he heard Xiao Qiong's question.

Then two, then three.

"Oh……"

"hehe……"

A hoarse laugh escaped his throat.

The laughter grew louder and louder, eventually turning into a hysterical, agonizing laugh.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot and filled with madness.

"What did I do wrong?!"

Zhou Bin raised his head, looked directly into Xiao Qiong's eyes, pointed a finger at himself, and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"What did I do wrong?!"

Seeing that Zhou Bin was showing signs of going berserk, the law enforcement team members immediately stepped forward and restrained him.

Zhou Bin twisted his body forcefully, trying to shake off the law enforcement officers' hands.

After his failure, he looked at Xiao Qiong, then at Wei Peng and Yun Shixian in mid-air.

"Who does Liu Yunjin think he is?!"

Zhou Bin gritted his teeth, his facial features contorted.

"So what if he killed a few alien races on the battlefield of the heavens and made some contributions?!"

"It's me! Zhou Bin!"

"I have worked diligently at Cangyun Martial Arts University for decades!"

"I started as a teaching assistant, working my way up step by step, year after year. I've poured my entire life's energy into this school!"

"I've endured so many years, and I was finally about to become the principal!"

"And the result?!"

"With a single transfer order from above, Liu Yunjin was parachuted in!"

"They've treated all my decades of hard work like it was nothing!"

Zhou Bin gasped for breath, his gaze sweeping over the more than five hundred students on the stage.

Finally, his gaze fell on Luo Yurou, Liu Bo, and others.

He gave a cold laugh.

"These students?"

"Now you're all pretending to be good people, feeling sorry for these students?"

Zhou Bin turned his head and stared intently at Xiao Qiong, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Do their lives or deaths really matter?"

He suddenly pulled out one hand and pointed it at Wei Peng in mid-air.

"You high and mighty figures, dare you put your hand on your hand and say you didn't know the competition was dangerous?"

"By setting the competition venue in the B-level area, aren't you just using these students as bait?!"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Wei Peng stood in mid-air, expressionless, offering no rebuttal.

Seeing Wei Peng's reaction, Zhou Bin laughed even more wildly.

"If it weren't for that damn resort suddenly appearing and disrupting all our plans..."

"Now, can you still see these students standing here safely?!"

"They're all long dead! Not even a trace of their bones remains!"

Zhou Bin pointed to his own nose and roared loudly.

"You use them as bait, I'll use them as stepping stones."

"What's the difference between us?!"

Xiao Qiong didn't say anything, she just watched him go crazy.

"but."

Zhou Bin tucked his arms in, his chest heaving violently.

He looked at Xiao Qiong, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"I'll tell you the truth."

Zhou Bin lowered his voice, his tone revealing a strange sense of pride.

"Before the competition began, the Shadow Ghost Clan contacted me."

A gasp rippled through the audience.

"They promised me countless benefits, and even agreed to help me kill Liu Yunjin."

Zhou Bin stared into Xiao Qiong's eyes, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"But I refused."

He snorted and straightened his suit collar.

"It's true that I, Zhou Bin, want to climb the ranks."

"I'm willing to use any means necessary to climb to the top, even sacrificing my own people's lives."

"I failed, and I accept the outcome."

Zhou Bin straightened up, raised his chin, and stood ramrod straight.

"But I, Zhou Bin, have not betrayed the human race."
